‘Better than Rashford’ – Chelsea fans react to Abraham’s Under-21 display

Tammy Abraham’s first start for England Under-21s on Tuesday excited Chelsea fans on Twitter – and led to inevitable comparisons with Marcus Rashford.

Teenager Abraham scored twice in the Under-21s’ 5-0 victory over Bosnia-Herzegovina, while last month Manchester United forward Rashford netted a hat-trick on his debut at that age level.

Abraham has now got 13 goals in 16 games for club and country this season, including a prolific start to his loan spell at Bristol City, and some Blues supporters believe he is already better than Rashford and Man City’s Kelechi Iheanacho.[phone][/phone]

Tammy Abraham is better than Rashford but he’ll never be rated cos he’s at Chelsea.

Will be livid if we loan Abraham out again next year, just as good if not better than Rashford

Tammy Abraham could become like Rashford & Iheanacho, but rival fans will say different because he plays for Chelsea.

Abraham is better than Rashford + Kelechi put together, but because he plays for Chelsea, he won’t be rated

Trust this tweet.
Tammy Abraham will be a bigger player than Marcus Rashford.

Other Chelsea fans were more concerned about whether Abraham would ever be given a chance in the first team – or if like Patrick Bamford he would struggle to make the step up.

Tammy Abraham trending! What a prospect, but as I’ve said a hundred times it’s shame we’ll never see him in a Chelsea shirt. #CFC

I hope Tammy Abraham breaks into the first team.. #CFC

Tammy Abraham is incredible. Two goals in his England U-21 debut. Premier League loan for him next season and then into the #CFC first team?

Tammy Abraham is quality, hope he gets a chance in the first team when he’s back #CFC

a lot of people are skeptical if Tammy Abraham is just another Bamford, but I’d suggest otherwise. Abraham has better pace/awereness #CFC

Tammy’s 2nd goal was class. Beat the offside trap and that finish was as cool as you like. Not just a flash in the pan this kid #Talent #CFC
